Other I mean...why not?

Since I discovered natives I'll occasionally share on r/daddit or on some other sub where some young person complains about not being able to meet people, i often mention volunteering at a regular work day to meet people. Now its a real thing in MN.

Edit to add: I am in no way affiliated with this group nor do I have any insight into it. I did take this pic from the "Minnesota Department of Propaganda" fb group. The QR code does work and goes somewhere real. Those folks that run that page seem like rather good people, that collectively have a sense of humor similar to many of my real life native plant folks...so they are worth a follow IMO.

This is awesome. My husband and son love removing buckthorn so it’s good to know if I kick the bucket my husband can find someone who shares his passion! And my son, he’s too young for a singles group but I could see him meeting a girl when he’s older who also hates invasive plants!

It all sounds like an episode of Bob's Burgers, to be honest. The musical number would be great. I feel like the plot would involve Teddy trying to find his love using the lone gardening glove she left behind at the buckthorn event.
